[QUOTE="Jay5, post: 275418, member: 2810"] Taken from the GTI forum, and i hope everybody will take heed on this. Would like to remind all car owners on this site and those who have recently purchased their beloved vehicles consider following precautions to minimize theft: 1.Fix an immobiliser and get a stoplock steering lock at the very minimum. This is to deter from your car going missing thru normal hot-wired ignition modes. 2.Change the ignition keyhole to the one that has the lubang-lubang type. This is to deter starting the car using masterkey or duplicated key from your own car. 3.Park your vehicles public places where there are a lot of passerbys, near lifts, escalators, the guard house, building management office, open staircases, entrance and exits of the underground parkings or buildings. 4.When parking in open areas such as meter parkings, turn your wheels towards the curb. This way, it is harder for those who wants to tow your car away, it also helps to deter them from trying to steal your rims as you can't open the wheel nuts. 5.Shift to 1st gear before getting out of the vehicle. This will make it harder for thieves to tow your car from behind. 6.Park your vehicle inbetween vehicles. Try not to park at the first lot or last lot where your vehicle is exposed to be towed from the front or the back. 7.Try not to pass your car keys to strangers especially to car jockeys or car wash places. Always park your car yourself and if possible be around when send your car for washing. This will help to prevent them from duplicating your car keys and capture your alarm code. 8.Change your stock alarm to an aftermarket alarm. It doesn't have to be a very expensive alarm. Just a change to an aftermarket sub RM 1000 alarm is good enough. 9. When you have enough money, spend on: a) Shock sensor for your car alarm. This will deter from your car parts going missing eg rear spoiler, rims etc. B) GPS/GSM vehicle tracking system like Posse2, OnStar or Checkmate. These systems been proven to be extremely reliable in cases where your car is being towed away. It pays to be paranoid. Just ask any of our members and they can tell you that its worth spending on security systems first before modding coz if not there would be no vehicle to mod with. Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
